NU-LEAGUE I: Marauder League Championship Series I said I'd do these all at once, but all 4 series turned out to be really good and I think slow-walking this is fine. I'll post Fr-Sa-Su-Mo and then save the World Serieses and full championship for when I'm back from vacation. Doesn't really impact our schedule; I still need to run The Gauntlet and so on. Anyway, our first championship series! The Riverdale Pickle Jugheads, piloted by DannoMack, won over 100 games this season, though the presence of the Chicago Trashcats made it look a little less impressive. They feature elite infield defense (Tulo and Nolan Arenado are both ridiculous, Joe Morgan's no slouch, and Charles Johnson in a platoon is quietly one of the best defensive Cs around with a little pop in his bat) that turns good pitchers into great ones, and great ones into transcendent ones. Chris Sale had a dominant season. Craig Kimbrel was mostly automatic out of the bullpen. It's a well-rounded team that might not overpower you, but is just solid all the way around. Their opponent? Buc-ee's Beaver Bombers are CaptMurphy's first team to go to the playoffs and I think they're a lot of fun. Murph only played 1 season of the old league and doesn't have the ingrained habits the rest of us do. He was perfectly willing to use a Reggie Jackson A's squad and it paid off handsomely. Reggie and Sal Bando put up decent offensive seasons, and 3/5 of a very good rotation came from that A's squad. Heck, he lost Bret Saberhagen for most of the 2nd half and it barely mattered. The Bombers also have a great infield defense with the Ozzie-Herr combo up the middle, though they've given that back in the Tradeback Draft. For now, though, it's what they're rolling with. They honestly remind me a lot of the Pickle Jugheads: very few spectacular pieces, but solid basically everywhere. For all that solidness, though, they still won a dozen fewer games than Riverdale, so they've gotta be seen as the underdog in this series. A first-inning error by Catfish Hunter paves the way for a 2-run homer by Mike Piazza to get the Pickle Jugheads rolling. A Kent Hrbek compounds the problems with a 2-run homer of his own. Down 6-2 in the 9th, the Bombers start a rally punctuated by a 3-run homer by Dick Allen. As we all know, though, home runs are rally killers. The next batter grounds to second and the Pickle Jugheads take a 1-0 series lead. If there's a moral victory here, it's that the unhittable Kimbrel looked mortal; maybe Buc-ee's can get to him later in the series if necessary. It's not necessary in this game. Nolan Arenado, unlike his IRL counterpart, hits a tie-breaking homer to put the Jugheads up 3-1. Two of the more unlikely Bomber batters power up back-to-back on their own shortly thereafter. HoJo and Darrell Porter tie things up at 3, and that's where we head going into the 9th. The AI manager, perhaps channeling Buck Showalter, or perhaps realizing that Kimbrel threw a lot of pitches the previous night, puts in Wayne "who" Granger to start the 9th inning of a tied home game. He gets into trouble, putting two men on, but works out of it. The bottom of the 9th is over quickly. Back to back singles put runners at the corners with nobody out. George Davis hits a ball up the middle that Ozzie Smith dives for and knocks down, but he's too far back to get the runner at home, ending things. Two close games, but at the end of the day, DannoMack holds serve. The series heads to the Bombers' home field where they'll need to win at least two of three, and probably all three, to have a chance. They get the first of them, at least. Ozzie Smith puts on a clinic, starting 2 double plays with a runner on 3rd. He also knocks in a couple runs, first with a single and then with a bases loaded walk. It almost goes for naught, as Charles Johnson hits a crushing three-run homer to tie the game and knock out the starter. The game stays that way until the ninth, when who else but The Wizard does some magic. Ozzie triples into the gap to start the inning, and scrambles home on Danny Tartabull's humpback liner over a drawn in infield. Not pretty, but it'll work. The third one-run game in the first three games ends with the Bombers climbing back into the series. As if to assert they're no longer loving around, the Jugheads get six straight hits to open the second inning and close things out early. Neither of these teams really has the offense to come back from that kind of deficit, and while the Bombers scratch across several runs of their own, the game is really never in doubt after that 2nd inning rally. DannoMack now holds a 3-1 lead, the most dangerous lead in sports. Catfish Hunter gives zero fucks about having his back to the wall, and goes toe-to-toe with a masterful Chris Sale. The Jugheads never get a man to third base the entire game, and only one man to second--a stolen base by Mookie Betts who promptly goes nowhere. Sal Bando singles late to drive in the only run of the game. Hunter tires at the end, but Bruce Sutter and his magnificent beard need only six pitches to close things out. We'll head back to Riverdale to decide things. It's an ugly game from the start. Al Downing gives up baserunners left and right, but works out of a bases loaded jam in the first to keep things scoreless. He's not so lucky in the second, as a George Davis bases loaded single puts Riverdale up 1-0. Troy Tulowitzki puts his mark on things with a three-run homer to put the game seemingly out of reach. But wait! Charles Johnson makes an error and extends the inning for Howard Johnson to drive in a run. 4-1 isn't much better than 4-0, but it feels different. It especially feels different when the Jugheads waste another scoring opportunity, and then Danny Tartabull and Reggie Jackson combine to knot things up at 4. Ozzie continues his superb series with an RBI to suddenly put Buc-ee's ahead 5-4 in the 6th. Al Downing settles down after his rocky start and looks like he's cruising, but Arenado answers the go-ahead run with a homer, chasing Downing and knotting things up at 5. Addison Reed, Rex Brothers, and Craig Kimbrel crush the life out of the Bomber offense, and a throwing error by Claude Osteen opens the door for Riverdale to scratch across the go-ahead, and eventual series-winning runs. The Beaver Bombers put up a good fight but fall just short of upsetting Riverdale. Riverdale advances to the World Series where they'll face the winner of the Trashcats-Airwing matchup. Great series, folks. FairGame fucked around with this message at 13:35 on Feb 3, 2023 |

NU-LEAGUE I: LUCAS LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES Time for our 2nd of 4 championship series. The Fangorn Ents are the home team in this series and rely on power pitching. Clayton Kershaw and Yu Darvish are a dangerous 1-2 combo, and Kenta Maeda's no slouch at #3. Kenley Jansen and Brad Lidge can slam the door on anyone in the bullpen. Their offense, though, is pretty pedestrian. They got good seasons out of Lance Berkman and Jimmie Foxx. Mickey Cochrane was his usual OBP monster self behind the dish, but the rest of the offense is varying derees of "kind of ok" to "actively bad." Still, an offense that's pretty average when combined with elite pitching turned out to win 95 games. I'm not sure they'll be able to repeat that success going forward; they outplayed their Pythag by nearly 10 games. But they're here now and also red hot. They're opposed by another red hot team, the Rochester Generics, who ran down first Pianosa and then Kanto to take first place in the Solo division. They scored over 1000 runs! They almost gave up 1000 runs! Rochester just hits dingers constantly and worries about run prevention later. With a middle of the lineup featuring Mel Ott/Babe Ruth/Mike Trout/Shohei Ohtani they strike fear into opposing pitching staffs. They're also the most Frankenstein creation of the Nu League. Starting pitcher Ohtani is actually just Max Scherzer in disguise. Gary Carter is actually Ed Sprague with stats tuned up to be similar to Habeas' Carter (no idea why I didn't just clone Carter). Smokey Joe Williams had to be adjusted because he broke on conversion to pitcher. Babe Ruth lists as having 99/100 fielding competency at all positions because he broke when going two-way. He doesn't actually have it, by the way. Just the feature Clay Dreslough heralded upon release of 2022 doesn't loving work at all lmao. Anyway, they're the underdog here but they're such a high-variance team that I'd not be surprised by a sweep either way. So naturally Game 1 doesn't feature much drama at all. Kenta Maeda shuts down the Generics' bats preetty handily, only surrendering a couple solo shots. Meanwhile, the bottom of the Ents lineup devastates the Generics and Ohtani, who has a terrible day. Golden sombrero at the dish, 5 runs in 6 innings on the bump. Rochester will have to do better than this if they want this series. Rochester does better than that. Sure, they fall behind 2-0 on more damage from the bottom of the Ents lineup, including a Carlos Beltran solo shot in the fourth inning. But Gary Carter immediately equalizes the next inning with a 2 out double off the wall. Then Mike Trout continues the party with a booming opposite field jack to put Rochester up for good. The Generics don't have an imposing bullpen, but the combination of Jumbo Brown and Rube Foster proves enough to send the series to Rochester tied up at 1. Game 3 looks like it might be a turning point, though. The Ents finally get to unleash staff ace Clayton Kershaw, who doesn't disappoint in October. He nearly gets out of the 7th, and leaves with a 5-0 lead on the strength of an Aramis Ramirez home run. I have no idea whether Babe Ruth actually did what the box score says he did; it screws up massively when he appears as a pitcher and hitter. Anyway, Sergio Romo gives up a late home run to Lou Boudreau that makes it interesting, but Kenley Jansen slams the door and wrests home field advantage back from Rochester. The Generics tie the series up in game 4 in typical Rochester Generics fashion: via the long ball. Chris Taylor and Carlos Beltran both hit solo shots early, but they're overcome by two 5-run rallies. One capped by an Ohtani 3-run homer, one capped by a sixth inning Tris Speaker grand slam. Speaker only hit 2 during the regular season, but sometimes punch hitters just get a hold of the ball in October. It's enough to overwhelm the Ents who don't really have the offense to trade crooked numbers, and the series goes to game 5 knotted at 2-2. Things start out well enough for the Ents. Lance Berkman mashes a 2-2 fastball over the left field bleachers to stake the Ents to a 1-0 lead. But then the Generics go to work. Singles by Tris Speaker and Mel Ott bring Babe Ruth to the plate looking to feast. He homers for three runs, and Mike Trout follows with a solo shot of his own to put the Generics up by three. The very next inning Ott gets in on the action and makes it 6-1. The Generics repeatedly threaten the rest of the game but never plate another run. It turns out not to matter, though: Ohtani works into the 8th inning only giving up the 1 run. Again, the Generics bullpen buckles but doesn't break, as Jimmie Foxx hits a largely meaningless two-run homer. Fangorn is still enjoying home field advantage, but they've got their backs against the wall on their return to the forest. Back in Fangorn, the Generics apparently decide they can't win via the home run. They employ small ball: a single by Ruth, a sac bunt by Trout, a tag-up on a fly ball to move Ruth to 3rd with two out. Pujols legs out an infield single, making that man on third important as the Generics get out to a 1-0 lead. Weirder still, Pujols then steals second base before being stranded. The Ents threaten in the fourth, putting two on with 2 out, but Mickey Cochrane strikes out on three pitches. That's the last time the game is in doubt, as the Generics put it away in the 6th. More smallball: a Speaker leadoff single and steal. Boudreau singles home Spaker and hustles into 2nd on the throw home. He scores on a Mel Ott double, Ott moves to third on a fly ball, and then comes in on a Trout soft dribbler too slow to do anything but get the man at first base. Joe Wood eventually turns the ball over to Jumbo Brown, but the Ents just never manage enough of a rally to look threatening. By a score of 4 games to 2, the Rochester Generics move forward as an underdog.

NU-LEAGUE I: MERRY LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES, AIRWING AT TRASHCATS Here we have our most lopsided matchup of the postseason. Kensei's Chkalov Airwing is a pretty good team, and I suspect they'll be even better next season when they can deploy a non-bugged Juan Soto in the outfield. In the interim, Yasiel Puig filled in admirably. It's a team with some holes, and I'm not fully comfortable with the idea of a playoff team starting Matt Wieters. But hey, they've got a great 1-2 in the bullpen with Jansen and Doolittle. They've also got Clayton Kershaw who can steal a game for you here and there. But at the end of the day, this is still a team that only won 84 games and only recently managed to hold off an absentee Beet's squad. Compared to their competition, this is an enormously tough draw. The Chicago Trashcats, on the other hand, are a loving monster. They underplayed their pythag; they won 108 games and in theory should have won more. With amazing seasons from Lance Berkman, Bryce Harper, and Dan Brouthers (not all deadball bats are useless, apparently), they had a well-above-average offense. And the run prevention was ridiculous. The Trashcats were by far the best team in all my balancing sims and they unbalanced any division I put them in. The best I could do was put them up against Cthulhu's Australian Thunder, who had an enormously high variance and could maybe give Chicago a run for their money in a good season. They had a good season. They finished 13 games back. In a reasonable world, the Trashcats will romp to a title, with perhaps a minor speed bump in the form of a very good Pickle Jugheads squad. Let's ask the official analyst of the Nu-League, Bob Nightengale, for his opinion on this matchup. Oh. Oh no. Can't predict ball, Suzyn! See you tomorrow for our final championship series featuring the I-90 Interceptors and Zombie Llamas.

NU-LEAGUE I: RODENBERRY LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES At last, we have our final championship series, pitting the Interceptors vs. the Zombie Llamas for the right to take on Rochester in the Leauge 2 finals. Despite the difference in the standings, I think this is actually a really even matchup. And even if it wasn't, weird stuff can happen in short series. Look no further than the Trashcats getting unceremoniously dumpstered by kensei. Let's meet the teams. The I-90 Interceptors are Monathin's creation as he returns to the league after Anyway, there's really nothing exceptional about the Interceptors. They have a balanced offense, a competent but unspectacular defense, and decent pitching. Jay Buhner had an MVP-caliber season but other than that? Just a bunch of guys solidly doing their job. The Zombie Llamas are an exceedingly weird team. Their Pythag suggests they're mediocre, but they pretty much ran away and hid in first place from the jump. Larry Doby had a magnificent season for them, proving that he's not a horrible curse--at least not in NuMogul. They also employ a Clayton Kershaw. Lotta Kershaws in the postseason. Probably a reason for that. They're also using Jonathan Broxton as their closer, a notion that offends and terrifies me. GAME ONE A wild back-and-forth contest where the Llamas being the home team probably is the only reason they won. Given a chance, I-90 presumably answers yet again. Doby gets things started in the first with a home run, but Ken Griffey equalizes an inning later, driving in Buhner via a home run of his own. The Interceptors small-ball a run home to take a lead in the third, on a Mickey Cochrane walk, stolen base, and scramble home on a sac fly. The Llamas answer immediately in the form of a 2-out RBI double by Eddie Mathews to give a lead back to the Llamas. The lead doesn't last long as the Interceptors string together 5 hits in the 4th to go back up 7-4. Doby tries to do it himself, hitting his second homer to bring things to 7-5. Things settle down a bit thereafter, with the teams trading runs to make it 8-6 in the 8th. Monty Stratton takes the mound to start the 8th and immediately things go bad. His first pitch is whacked into center by Manny, and he loses command on a waste pitch to Mathews, hitting him. The infield shortens up for a double play, and Joe Torre's tailor-made GIDP ends up being a ball the second baseman has to dive for. He keeps it on the infield but Torre ends up with an infield single, loading the bases with nobody out. Then disaster strikes: Joe Gordon taps a ball right at the third baseman, who fires home for one, and then on to first to complete the double play. I-90 has a chance to work out of it, but with 2nd and 3rd, nobody out, Larry Doby lurking on deck, and the team under strict "no IBB" orders, they face Lou Boudreau. It's the right play, but the wrong result. Boudreau singles through the hole to tie it, and while Doby strikes out to end the inning, the game is knotted up at 8. The Interceptors had bullpen problems all year, so it's something of a minor miracle they keep the Llamas scoreless a while longer, but they're unable to push a go-ahead run home. That leads to Brian Fuentes taking the mound in the 10th. This time, the Llamas put the winning run on 3rd with less than two out and the Interceptors go for the IBB of Doby. Ron Perranoski comes in hoping for a ground ball from Hank Aaron. He gets it, but the second baseman has to range a bit too far to get it, and the throw comes home a touch late. The Llamas walk off a wild one, though it's one of their home games. Tough one to lose for I-90 but also one they're theoretically expected to lose. GAME TWO This one's the story of two nightmare innings. I-90 provided the bigger nightmare, so they ended up winning. Up 3-0 in the 5th, the wheels completely come off for the Interceptors' Tommy Bridges. Mathews homers to lead off, and then Doby hits his third home run in two games a few batters later to make it 4-3 Llamas. The bleeding can't stop: Ken Williams hits a homer of his own, and even reliever Andrew Bailey gets torched and it's suddenly 7-3 Llamas. In the seventh, the Interceptors answer. Zack Wheeler comes out in relief in a 8-3 game and immediately gives up a single and a homer. And then another home. And then walks a couple guys before a wild pitch. During all of this, Llama is just watching, I guess. Hung-Chi Kuo doesn't even enter the game until it's 10-8, and while he gets out of the inning there's a couple productive outs that make it 11-8. Kuo doesn't do a great job himself, giving up a couple more runs on an Edgar homer. Having seen enough from other bullpen options, Monathin turns to Grant Balfour in the 9th. Assisted by Randy Johnson, the two work out of trouble and even the series 1-1. The series now heads back to the Interceptors' home field where ace Sandy Koufax will look to give Monathin the lead. GAME THREE This one looks more like a proper pitching duel. Joe Torre hits an early home run off of Koufax and stakes Jacob deGrom to a 2-0 lead. That leads holds up all the way until the ninth inning where it turns out Jonathan Broxton just isn't that rliable. Goose Goslin homers immediately to cut the lead in half, and then the Mariners' trio of Edgar-Buhner-Griffey combine to even things up. They go on to load the bases, but Hank Greenberg pops up to end the threat. After a largely uneventful top of the tenth, Jeurys Familia comes in for the Llamas. He walks a couple and then immediately pays for it on a Buhner walk-off single. With that bullpen meltdown, Llama now finds himself down 2-1 and backed up against the wall. He does, at least, have Clayton Kershaw taking the bump in Game 4. GAME FOUR Not much to say here. The Llamas beat the poo poo out of Don Drysdale, and while I-90 puts up some runs of their own, they're just not enough to overcome the Llamas onslaught. Series back even. GAME FIVE A virtual repeat of Game 4, only this time with Schoolboy Rowe playing the part of "hapless guy who gets crushed by a shitload of dingers." The Llamas not only have a 3-2 lead, but get to go home for Game 6, and if needed, Game 7. GAME SIX Needing a miracle to win two straight on the road, Tommy Bridges provides. He's virtually untouchable, giving up only a couple scratch hits with 2 of them not even leaving the infield. Meanwhile, the Llamas kick the ball around. Ken Williams, the offensive hero of games 4 and 5, gives the Interceptors the lead by dropping a fly ball in the outfield. The defense fails again in the fifth when the Llamas boot an easy double play ball and suddenly it's 4-0 instead of inning over. Randy Johnson comes in to relieve--a rare, but not totally unseen role for him, and shuts the door. We will see you tomorrow night. GAME SEVEN We'll pick it up in the 7th, tied 2-2. Joe Torre homered earlier but Griffey and Edgar answered it with solo shots of their own. Neither team is willing to go to the bullpen, having been burned numerous times in the series. That said, we're well into the third time through the order and the lack of competent bullpenning looms large. Sandy Koufax is still in the game for I-90, and seemingly Monathin is unwilling to go to an unreliable bullpen. He watches as Koufax is victimized by a fielding error, and then Lou Boudreau works a 12 pitch single to put the Llamas up 3-2. A couple batters later, a visibly exhausted Koufax leaves the game on the hook for the loss via an unearned run. The Llamas have seen their own bullpen fail this series, so they look to deGrom to sneak out another inning. He can't, giving up a home run to Charlie Gehringer immediately to start the 8th. With Jeurys Familia warming, deGrom, now running on fumes, gets a couple ground balls by Bresnahan and Matsui. Goose Goslin extends the inning with a line drive to right, and Llama can wait no longer. He brings in Familia, who gets Edgar down 0-2 and tries to blow a fastball by him. Edgar's ready for it, though, and does what he does best: a double to put I-90 ahead with the possible series-winning run. All they need do now is get 6 outs. From a shaky bullpen. Monty Stratton teeters in the 8th, but a diving play by Appling with two on keeps runs off the board to end the inning. After Familia navigates the 9th, it's now up to Bob Miller to advance the Interceptors to the finals. Lou Boudreau quickly singles, but Miller doesn't panic. He gets a ground ball from Kirby Puckett, and then fans Hank Aaron with a well-placed running fastball. One out to go. He never gets it. Manny Ramirez doubles the other way, scoring Boudreau and putting the winning run in scoring position for the Llamas. An intentional walk of Rico Carty later, Kent Hrbek ends the drama with a single into the gap. An incredibly close series, but the Llamas barely survive to face the Generics in the finals.

We will pause the league here for a bit because I'm going away on vacation and won't be back until 2/13. The League 1 and League 2 World Series will be posted on 2/14 and 2/15. The League 1 vs. League 2 final will be posted sometime thereafter. As a reminder, I need Gauntlet rosters for those of you in The Gauntlet by 2/15. I'm aiming to get that all finished by 2/22 so we can do an expansion team draft that includes (m)any owners whose teams died in the Gauntlet and want to re-register. Remember: if we end up with > 30 teams, I will cut based on where you died in the Gauntlet so it's to your advantage to compete and get past additional rounds even if your team ends up not surviving. Have a wonderful week and I'll see you back here on 2/14.

FairGame posted:We will pause the league here for a bit because I'm going away on vacation and won't be back until 2/13. The League 1 and League 2 World Series will be posted on 2/14 and 2/15. The League 1 vs. League 2 final will be posted sometime thereafter. Yeah, just kill the Massholes, please. This has been some of the worst weeks of my life, I'm suffering from brain melt while so much stuff is going on around me and my wife is off at a loving vinyl chloride-spewing flaming clusterfuck that could kill her at any moment if the universe deems it so. Just kill them.

I am back from vacation and will sim the World Series for both leagues tomorrow (though they'll be posted a day apart). Gauntlet-bound friends, please get those roster posts in, or lemme know that you're ok with just letting the team die as cbx and armitage have. Setting up a league--even a 4-team one for 40 games--is a bit of work, and I'd just as soon have it done right. In the meantime, options for World Series teams: Kensei, your entire rotation is rested. Line up however you see fit. DannoMack, I'm not quite sure how this happened. Everyone is fully-rested except Don Wilson who needs 2 more days to be on full rest. kw, You're in the same boat as Danno. Everyone's fully rested except Joe Wood who is 2 days out. Llama, Kershaw and Viola are ready for Games 1 and 2. Your other 2 starters are 2 and 3 days out.
